COLCMS is a nut free school. Companies often change manufacturing processes or ingredients, requiring the label to be read each time. We have children who have life-threatening nut allergies as well as toddlers who have not yet been exposed to nut. No amount of nut is safe, including food with traces of nuts or food made on shared equipment.
We have a milk protein allergy. Please check that crackers and bread do not contain milk as a listed ingredient. ‘May contain milk’ or ‘processed in a facility that also processes milk’ is ok.
Organic food is strongly preferred. We really appreciate you making the effort to buy organic for our toddlers, especially fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Thank you in advance for helping make snack healthy, safe, and delicious!
